''Lithodes santolla'', also known as the southern king crab in English or centolla in Peru, Chile and Argentina,〔(Southern king crab (''Lithodes antarcticus'') Toxicity Studies )〕 is a species of king crab, found off the Pacific coasts of South America, especially from Valdivia at 39° 50' S to Cape Horn at 60° S.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Pesquera Melinka en Punta Arenas ofrece Centolla, Centollón y Caracoles )〕 It lives in the benthic zone at depths up to , but south of 40° it has been found at .〔 The lucrative centolla fishery around Tierra del Fuego led to an incident in August 1967 when the Argentine schooner ' was found fishing from Gable Island and had to be escorted out of Chilean waters by the Chilean patrol boat '. This event among many other led to the Beagle conflict in the late 1970s. The United States Food and Drug Administration lists the centolla crab and southern king crab as two separate species: ''Lithodes antarcticus'' and ''Lithodes santolla'' respectively.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/SEARCH_SEAFOOD/index.cfm?other=complete )〕 Other sources consider ''Lithodes antarcticus'' to be a synonym of ''Lithodes santolla''. A recent study has found that L. santolla is capable of withstanding long periods of aerial exposure with not detrimental effect on crab survival, opening the possibility of commercializing L. santolla in the attractive live seafood market.〔Urbina, M.A., Paschke, K., Gebauer, P., Cumillaf, J.P., Rosas, C. 2013.
